This, folks, is why we don’t use AI to write headlines (or anything else).

If your ass still thinks both sides are the same, please give us directions to your magical privilege bubble and whatnot.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

Read the entire thread to understand what is happening. Thank you Aaron.

“Because the presumption of vindictiveness remains unrebutted, the indictment must be dismissed,” Judge Waverly Crenshaw wrote.

There are more American Christians pushing and funding Israel than Jewish people in the world. Talk to your pastors and friends and family who attend these churches.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

(Reuters) - It would be a mistake to underestimate the risk posed by the Ebola outbreak, the WHO regional director for Africa told Reuters on Friday, warning that just one case could spread the virus beyond the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. @reuters.com

My Instagram feed is nothing but Colbert and Rowdy Busch and one, my algorithm has me pinned as the odd one I am, and two, I'm crying a little.

Best ever Kyle Busch moment www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF3F...

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.

WTF is wrong with this man? More importantly, how can anyone think he's in any shape to be running a country?

Polling people on whether a party should move to the left, to the right, or stay as is on a policy area is always utterly useless polling since it assumes a coherent party position, that voters know that position, and that they have coherent understandings of what each positional change means.

Between Kean and Frederica Wilson, I feel strongly that staff owes it to constituents to share what is going on with their bosses. They serve a district, not one person.

42 fixed-wing or rotary-wing US aircraft have been lost or damaged in Trump's war against Iran. www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

I had a couple of requests to put this in my shop so here y’all go. It’s in my shop and you can order from this link… comingandgoingdesign.etsy.com/listing/4508...

The Republican establishment is SO, SO, SO PATHETIC. From Punchbowl this a.m.: "Senate Republicans were furious over Trump’s Paxton endorsement. But few expressed it directly — perhaps out of a fear that they would become a Trump victim themselves. Instead, GOP senators privately griped..."

Somehow I missed this, but a worker *died* at the spacex facility in Texas. It's classified as an "accident" but there's no coincidence- spacex has 6x the worker injury rate compared to other aerospace companies. Until we regulate them, oligarchs will always prioritize power and profit over people.

I'm reluctant to re-post this NY Times article because on one hand it seems too preposterous to be true, but on the other hand it makes perfect sense. Ultimately authoritarians love other authoritarians best of all.

This shit scares me so damned much. There are left wing idiots out there who have drunk some serious kool-aid.

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

Massive and unforgivable corruption.

Some good news for a change.

Another one of the agencies Americans stupidly take for granted.

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

We're not being governed, we are being looted in plain sight.

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

Genuinely, how can Microsoft expect to be taken seriously when they cram Copilot into every product yet Outlook still allows me to send an email signed off "Vest wishes" without flagging this as a possible typo?

Dogs are a woman's best friend.

This sounds extreme and weird, but it's really not much of an exaggeration. Groceries and gas already are expensive and that's not going away any time soon. The rest is pretty much spot on.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

This, standing alone, is impeachable in and of itself. Theft. Blind fucking theft. And to what end? Paying off those who tried to overthrow the government. Reparations to bigots. Yet nothing will happen to Donald Trump, because nothing ever does. Fuck.

there’s just nowhere else in the world where a giant mascot of teddy roosevelt throws hot dogs at people

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

"Economic Anxiety"

Just...I need everyone to realize how far we have fallen. This is, like, the sixth thing Trump said in this presser that would have been career-ending for any politician of 20 years ago.

Rede von @anneapplebaum.bsky.social an und über Europa, in der sie u.a. sagt, dass es notwendig ist - will man europäische Souveränität wahren - dass Entscheidungen, die Europa betreffen, auch in Europa gefällt werden müssen.

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

We are barbarians.
